The bloody atmosphere permeated the sky above the imperial city, which actually attracted many crows, pressing down on the buildings of the imperial city and hovering around, causing the soldiers of His Highness Xuanzheng to look up and watch the crows gather above their heads.
The hour before dawn is always the time when the night is the thickest, and you can't see your fingers.
Jiang Hanyang's eyes were full of unsharpness, and the blade of the long sword in his hand was already stained with blood. He said with a mocking smile:
"If your majesty is a wise king, then the ministers would not rebel. But your majesty is self-willed and doesn't trust the courtiers. Who would be so jealous? We are just trying to protect ourselves!"
Duan Yi listened, with a sneer on his face, he clenched the weapon in his hand, as if he was about to die with the siege rebels.
Just when he raised his blade and prepared to charge, he heard a thick and dull sound from the door of the Xuanzheng Hall. The door slowly opened, and candles gradually lit up inside the hall, corresponding to the torches in the hands of the rebels. Brighter again.
In front of the gate of the hall stood a tall and tall young man, with his hair tied up in a bun wrapped in a jade crown and fixed with a short hairpin.
Wearing black narrow-sleeved clothes and a jade belt around his waist, although it was freezing cold, he was not seen wearing a cloak. He stepped out of the palace door with his hands behind his back and stood on the high steps, with only one person standing beside him. The waiting servant.
The rebels and the soldiers of the opposing imperial army seemed to be greatly encouraged, and their morale rose immediately.
And when Jiang Hanyang and He Zhangjian saw the standing person, they also showed many surprises on their faces.
"Your Majesty?" He Zhangjian whispered in surprise.
Jiang Hanyang regained his expression in an instant, thinking about his soldiers and horses, and Huo Zheng was right in front of him, killing him would make him famous, so he couldn't care less, held up his long sword and said:
"The tyrant is heartless, cruel to his biological mother and brother, and suspicious of his courtiers, who are extremely harsh. Now he is in front of us. For the sake of the deceased King Cheng and the first queen mother, the generals and I rushed forward and took off his head."
Immediately, the rebels assembled and attacked the forbidden army again.
Suddenly, the heavy Xuanzheng gate made a muffled sound and moved slowly.
Jiang Hanyang and the soldiers who were rushing forward stopped and looked back one after another. At some point, there were not many people left in the brigade who were following behind. At this moment, they closed the palace gate, trying to separate them from the traitor The army is separated, and then they are defeated one by one.
Huo Zheng's murderous look remained undiminished, and his expression was stern, as if this cold winter night had covered him with frost and snow.
He calmly watched Jiang Hanyang and He Zhangjian, who were below the steps, fighting desperately. However, once their morale fell, they panicked like a rock collapsing.
The soldiers of the imperial army rose up and fought, changing the previous signs of retreat.
I don't know who called His Majesty to spare, and then the voices of begging for mercy came one after another, and they all put down their weapons and knelt down on the ground begging for mercy.
The army is defeated like a mountain, and the general situation is over.
The soldiers of the Imperial Army took Jiang Hanyang and He Zhangjian down, put their weapons around their necks, escorted them to the front of the steps, and forced them to kneel in front of Huo Zheng.
"Do you really think I don't know anything?" Huo Zheng said suddenly, causing Jiang Hanyang and He Zhangjian to look up at him.
Jiang Hanyang: "If you want to kill, kill!"
"I have been giving you a chance." Huo Zheng stepped down the steps and stopped in front of them, his eyes fell on He Zhangjian again, his expression unchanged, "When I implement the New Deal, the first thing that will be implicated is the gambling in the capital." Fang, brothel."
"As the general in charge of the Huben army, you are an official appointed by the court, but you join hands with others to open a gambling house, just because the strict government makes you have little income, so you feel resentful."
"Your Majesty..." He Zhangjian looked at Huo Zheng with a guilty conscience, but then lowered his head instantly.
"Profit is the word, so I will naturally take risks, but I don't know that you are so impatient." Huo Zheng said coldly, "The gambling shop made a living, which made me not want to make progress to the people. I made a living by gambling all day, and finally sold my children. The house of the daughter-in-law is ruined."
"The place of prostitutes is even a place of low class. May I ask how many innocent girls in your prostitutes were sold or robbed by force? You know better than me."
"I've had it before, because I didn't know people clearly, because I couldn't investigate evil in time, and because I didn't understand the suffering of people's livelihood, but what about you? You want to make mistakes again and again?"
The square in front of the Xuanzheng Hall was unusually quiet, and when Huo Zheng finished speaking, only the crows of crows remained.
Under Huo Zheng's order, the soldiers of the Imperial Army escorted the surrendered soldiers together with Jiang Hanyang and He Zhangjian into the ear room behind the Xuanzheng Hall, and Duan Yi took care of them personally.
The gate of the Xuanzheng Gate was wide open, and Cheng Liang rushed in with hundreds of soldiers and horses. When he saw Huo Zheng, he breathed a sigh of relief, and approached Huo Zheng to salute and say:
"Your Majesty may be injured."
"No." Huo Zheng said, "The two of them have been arrested now. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, I should go and meet him."
Cheng Liang looked solemn: "Fang Caichen's subordinates came from the Hou's mansion and said that Li Chengye was not in the mansion."
Huo Zheng's eyes were dimmed, and he was about to ask a question, but he saw a person rushing over from the harem, he was covered in blood, and fell to the ground before he got close.
Li Lin walked over quickly, but just after hearing him say a few words, the servant died.
Huo Zheng: "What happened?"
Li Lin came back in a panic, and said in shock: "That man is the servant of the little highness. He said that a thief broke into the Ganlu Palace and took the little highness away. Mr. Shaoyuan chased him out. Now go to the north palace gate. gone."
Huo Zheng stared.
He thought they would be fine if they left enough guards in Changning Palace.Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of the rebel army's invasion of the imperial city and sneaked into the harem, and even took Jing Yuan away.
"Chasing! Go to the north gate!"
When Huo Zheng gave an order, Cheng Liang immediately took the order, took the elite soldiers and followed him to the north palace gate.
*An hour ago. *
Qian Yanzhi slept on the bed with a pillow in his arms, it seemed that because of the many things that had happened recently, he was always not sleeping soundly, and he would wake up with a start if there was any noise.
Originally thought it would be better to have Huo Zheng accompany him after returning to the palace, but unexpectedly he would not stay because of his political affairs.
Qian Yanzhi is not such a hypocritical person, and naturally he will not keep him, so when there is a noise outside, he wakes up.
It seems to be the sound of fighting, very loud, and there are many people.
Not far away, but not nearby either.
When Qian Yanzhi woke up from his sleep, he carefully identified the direction, as if it came from the front of the palace gate.
He was stunned at first, then woke up in a panic, ran to the side hall without his shoes on, pushed the door, just in time to meet the awakened Qin Ziyue.
"Brother, what happened?"
Qian Yanzhi was a little flustered: "I don't know, it seems that there was a palace change in the previous dynasty. When I came here, I saw the flames over there, and it seemed that there were many people. Get up quickly and protect Jing Yuan with me."
As soon as Qin Ziyue heard that there was a palace change, he immediately woke up, got up, put on his clothes and shoes, followed Qian Yanzhi into the inner hall, knocked that Jing Yuan was still in a deep sleep, and quickly picked him up and wrapped him in a quilt.
Qian Yanzhi said: "Since the palace change has occurred, the harem is naturally not safe. Let's go, let's go to the Ganlu Hall and hide with His Majesty. Even if someone sneaks into the harem, they won't think that we are all there."
Qian Yanzhi looked calm and carefully analyzed the current situation.
Only now did he seem to understand why Huo Zheng talked about political affairs tonight. I'm afraid he had expected that there would be a palace change at night, so he didn't stay here.
Qin Ziyue is not afraid, after all, he used to take to the street with Qian Yanzhi to fight against the Dongyi and Xiyuan rebels with a knife.
So now that he put on his clothes and shoes, he followed behind Qian Yanzhi.
It's just that when he opened the palace gate, he found that there were still a group of soldiers guarding the gate. Qian Yanzhi was puzzled: "You don't go to the front to help His Majesty, what are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty has an order. Even if the house in front is on fire, this subordinate must protect Lord Shaoyuan and His Highness, as well as the comfort of Prince Qin."
Qian Yanzhi stared at him for a long while, and then said: "Your Majesty has intentions, but there may be thieves taking the opportunity to infiltrate the harem due to the change in the previous palace, so I plan to take the little highness and the prince to the Ganlu Palace. You call two people Escort us there, and leave the rest alone."
The man was a little hesitant, but due to Qian Yanzhi's status, he could only obey, and sent four or five soldiers to escort them quickly towards the Ganlu Hall.
Sure enough, after Qian Yanzhi and the others left Changning Hall, two men in black ran across the roof at night and jumped into Changning Hall.
However, when they searched from room to room, they woke up the guards and maids who were watching the night. At that time, there was chaos in the Changning Palace, and screams were everywhere.
The imperial soldiers guarding outside the palace heard the voices in the courtyard, and hastily pushed open the palace gate, only to see two men in black holding sharp knives, attacking this group of helpless maids.
When seeing the forbidden army soldiers attacking in, the man in black also paid attention. Although he wanted to escape, the forbidden army ambushed here was ambushed everywhere. Naturally, he could only fight hard and prepare to rush out a bloody road.
The front court was full of flames and fighting continued, and the imperial guards guarding the Changning Palace were still fighting bloody battles.
Suddenly, one of the men in black stood up and blocked the imperial army in front of him, but in an instant, the other saw the timing and chased him out.
Although the man in black who was behind him died, the one who escaped still did not forget his mission. However, the man in black who went to other palaces to search suddenly gathered in the Ganlu Palace.
Although they also thought that they would not hide there, all the rooms in the palace have been searched, and only the Ganlu Palace is left.
So more than a dozen men in black went to the Ganlu Hall at the same time, and when they saw the servants guarding in front of the hall, they were even more merciless, they raised their knives and dropped them, and one life was lost immediately.
Qian Yanzhi suddenly became nervous when he heard the movement outside.
Jing Yuan also woke up at this moment, holding Qin Ziyue tightly, looking at him nervously: "Father, what happened."
"Jing Yuan, don't be afraid, Father will protect you, Ziyue, you take Jing Yuan into the bedroom." Qian Yanzhi ordered.
Qin Ziyue responded, but just after taking two steps, he heard the fighting coming from outside the hall.
Presumably, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army guarding outside Changning Hall arrived, so they tried their best to stop them.
However, the doors and windows were all broken, and the corpses of soldiers who flew in from outside the hall landed at Qian Yanzhi's feet. Qin Ziyue immediately stretched out his hand to protect Jing Yuan's eyes.
Qian Yanzhi was shocked to see the fight outside the hall, and the man in black rushed into the hall as if fighting desperately.
Qian Yanzhi retreated every day and took them back to the bedroom.
At that moment, Qian Yanzhi didn't know what idea to use to force the man in black back.
And this group of men in black seemed to come just for them.
Are they going to arrest them to threaten Huo Zheng, or do they have other plans?
Qian Yanzhi couldn't guess, so he took Qin Ziyue and the others to hide in the bedroom, closed the door, forced himself to calm down, and within a limited time, thought of a way to save himself.
The hour before dawn is always the time when the night is the thickest, and you can't see your fingers.
Jiang Hanyang's eyes were full of unsharpness, and the blade of the long sword in his hand was already stained with blood. He said with a mocking smile:
